This service manual describes the latest service information NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC for the IC-703 HF/50MHz ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER. power supply that uses more than 16 V. This will ruin the transceiver.
7 low-pass filters as below, the transmit/ 3-1-2 PREAMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) receive switching relay (PA unit; RL250) and low-pass filter The preamplifier circuit in the IC-703 has approx. 15dB gain (PA unit; L300, L301, C304–C308), and are then applied to over a wide-band frequency range.

IC1801 is a double balanced mixer IC and outputs a double 3-2-6 RF CIRCUIT (MAIN AND PA UNITS) side band (DSB) signal with –40 dB of carrier suppression. The RF circuit amplifies the displayed frequency signal to R1803 and R1807 adjust the balanced level of IC1801 for obtain 10 W of RF output power for HF/50 MHz bands.
